I had a unique image to the culture. They were like, "Who is this dude, the light skin guy in dancehall music? I remember it was Trinidad and Panama that were the first countries in , where I would go there and I would have a fanbase and if I go to the mall I'd have to leave. Where I could say "I'm at this venue" and I'd get people or more. I have like four with Vybz, every song I sang with him was big.
Then I did a song with Machel Montano, which was big in the soca market. It was more of a groovy soca. I wasn't really trying to be an artist, I was just doing it for fun, and because the first one worked, the fans were like "Yo, where's the next one?
It was just "Yo, it can't hurt. I think I'll do it again because people still ask for it. I met him in late , while I was doing that year of let me try and make it.
He was like, "Yo, there's this kid. He's dope. Hear his beats. Next day, I remember at like six in the morning I was in my studio, and it wasn't a real studio, it was my setup. I got a text, and everyone who knows Kartel knows he types words in numbers and symbols. I got a text like, "Send some more riddims," so I'm like "Who this? I still have recordings [of his], so I just release them whenever I feel the time is right, and promote them via the internet and the street.
It's pretty much the same process, I just don't have that much [music from him] anymore because he's been in there a few years. I still have quite a few [songs] but I have to time them. It definitely hurts because he was the biggest. I think in dancehall at the moment, him missing is just one less gladiator on the battlefield to help the culture.
The culture is still growing and doing good, but the main problem I think with the dancehall culture is that most of the artists can't travel to the U. There's a lot of fight in the culture itself, you know? And I feel like the Jamaican government doesn't support dancehall as much as they should, because there's people who fly from Japan and come to the worst slums and ghettos just to learn to dance or learn the culture.
That should tell you a lot. And also that everything right now has that dancehall vibe. Jamaica is such a poor country and culture, and it's so small, and I don't think the government really targets that, which they should. I have no problem with it, I think it's good for the culture because it makes people aware and interested and want to do it.
The only thing I do wish sometimes is the big artists who [incorporate the sound] try sometimes to incorporate the people who are from the roots of it, you know? You see the dancehall chart, you want to use a foreign producer or come up with a local so that way it helps the culture, it's not just "we taking it.
I had a song called "Wine Slow" with Gyptian, which was a big success. I was a producer who listened to every kind of music. Even in Jamaica growing up, I listened to Latin music. Around that time, the song was big, especially in Latin America, and a lot of the artists started to reach out to me because they saw that songs were doing good and they liked the music. I took him to the ghetto of Tivoli gardens, he saw the real culture, nothing censored.
I never worked with him but we was always cool, and then I met with Farruko, who was the first one I actually worked with in Latin music. They tried to bully me out of my own song, so I was like Alright, cool, whatever , and me and Farruko worked on some other music.
At the time Farruko was big, he had the streets, but he wasn't on the radio yet so we worked on "Passion Whine," and we were like, Sean Paul would kill this, and it would definitely be good for radio. I flew to Jamaica, I put Sean on it, showed Sean the vision, because I've always worked with Sean over the years and he trusts my vision. Two weeks later, it was a smash. That was Farruko's real breakthrough song to international success and to America.
